Course content

9 sections • 15 lectures • 1h 21m total length

Introduction7:00
Learn how ISO IEC 27,033 guides secure network design and controls, from threat identification and risk management to implementing authentication, access control, and encryption across on-premise, wireless, and cloud environments.

Fundamentals of Network Security (1)7:17
Build foundational understanding of ISO/IEC 27033 network security by exploring threats, vulnerabilities, and the CIA triad; map risks to controls like segmentation and encryption for secure networks.
Fundamentals of Network Security (2)4:48
Identify and map network vulnerabilities using ISO IEC 27,033 guidelines, and prioritize remediation with risk-based methods such as Cvss scores, scanning, and security reviews to drive segmented, controlled design.
Identify Network Threats and Vulnerabilities at SecureNet

Secure Network Design Process (1)4:59
Translate risk into concrete design decisions by following the ISO IEC 27,033 network design lifecycle. Build a layered, zero-trust architecture with segmentation and validation for resilience and visibility.
Secure Network Design Process (2)7:26
Apply ISO/IEC 27033 principles to design networks secure by design. Adopt defense in depth, least privilege, secure defaults, separation of duties, zero trust, and segmentation with VLANs and ACLs.
Design a Segmented Network Architecture for SecureNet

Selecting and Implementing Technical Controls (1)7:08
Learn to select and position technical controls—firewalls, IDs, IPS, VPNs, and encryption—based on threat environment and risk, then implement them with authentication, access control, and monitoring.
Selecting and Implementing Technical Controls (2)4:59
Explore implementing strong network encryption with IPsec, SSL, TLS, and SSH, using centralized key management and DMZ segmentation to align with ISO/IEC 27033.
Design Technical Controls for SecureNet’s Network Zones

Securing Specific Network Environments (1)4:53
Learn ISO/IEC 27033's environment-specific security for LANs, wireless networks, WANs and internet gateways, and cloud networks; tailor controls with segmentation, authentication and monitoring for hybrid networks.
Securing Specific Network Environments (2)7:16
Secure wireless environments with enterprise AES encryption, radius-based EAP-TLS authentication, guest VLAN isolation, rogue AP detection, and centralized logging; plus hardened WANs, DMZs, VPNs, and cloud controls for perimeter integrity.
Apply ISO/IEC 27033 Controls to SecureNet’s Network Environments

Network Security Monitoring and Maintenance (1)7:24
Learn how to operationalize network security through continuous monitoring, logging, incident detection and response, and patch management, aligned with ISO IEC 27,033.
Network Security Monitoring and Maintenance (2)4:23
Automate patching across operating systems, firmware, and security software; enforce configuration baselines per ISO IEC 27,033 to sustain auditable, resilient network defense.
Design a Network Security Monitoring and Maintenance Plan

Requirements

Basic knowledge of networking or cybersecurity is helpful, but not required. All concepts are explained step by step with real-world examples.

Description

This course contains the use of artificial intelligence. Led by Dr. Amar Massoud, a seasoned expert with decades of academic and professional experience, it combines cutting-edge AI support with human insight to deliver content that is precise, practical, and easy to follow. You’ll gain the clarity of structured learning and the confidence of being guided by a recognized authority.

Are you responsible for securing network infrastructure, implementing ISO standards, or aligning your systems with ISO/IEC 27001? This comprehensive course teaches you how to design and implement secure networks using ISO/IEC 27033, the international standard for network security.

ISO/IEC 27033 provides detailed guidance on securing LANs, WANs, wireless, cloud, and virtual networks. In this course, you’ll learn how to use ISO/IEC 27033 to identify threats, assess vulnerabilities, architect secure designs, and implement controls across all network layers. Whether you’re working in enterprise IT, GRC, or cybersecurity operations, this course provides step-by-step guidance backed by real-world case studies and downloadable templates.

You’ll begin with an introduction to ISO/IEC 27033 and its relationship to ISO/IEC 27001. From there, you’ll build foundational knowledge in network security threats and concepts before learning how to design secure network architectures. Through practical walkthroughs, you'll deploy controls like firewalls, IDS/IPS, VPNs, segmentation, access management, and encryption protocols across varied environments.

You’ll also gain skills in continuous monitoring, documentation, and aligning network controls with risk treatment plans under an ISMS. Real-world scenarios from a model company—SecureNet Solutions Inc.—will help you visualize how to apply ISO 27033 in professional contexts.

By the end of this course, you'll be equipped to document and implement a full network security program, ready for internal audits, ISO 27001 certification, or regulatory compliance initiatives.

Key Features:

Step-by-step ISO/IEC 27033 implementation walkthrough
Case study: SecureNet Solutions Inc.
Technical controls for LANs, WANs, wireless, cloud
Templates for network design, security planning, and audit prep
Final project to solidify real-world application

This course is ideal for network security professionals, ISO 27001 implementers, IT managers, cybersecurity analysts, and GRC consultants who want practical skills—not just theory.

Who this course is for:

This course is ideal for network security professionals, IT security managers, ISO 27001 implementers, cybersecurity analysts, and anyone involved in designing, managing, or auditing secure networks. It’s also highly valuable for GRC professionals and auditors seeking to understand ISO/IEC 27033 in a practical, implementation-oriented format.
